Remote Teaching

Remote Teaching Tools

Use this guide to keep on teaching using remote or virtual tools available to all Cal State LA faculty. Remote teaching can be considered a transformation of class-time and class-routines, using technology. For a quick analogy, consider your routines and activities as new structures that need to be replicated for remote/distance instruction. Explore our Remote Teaching Quick Start Guide for more.
